....but I seem to recall
that you "just have a duty to notify 'new' creditors by first class
mail, or some other way to ensure that they know about the
bankruptcy."

I wondered after-the-fact whether it would have been allowable to use
a speakerphone and a tape cassette recorder, and CALL (and record!)
any creditos that might pop up, and make a contemporeaneous record of
the conversation as proof that they were notified. It would seem a
great and streamlined way to ensure creditors were notified (and avoid
that "address changing and skipping" BS that lots of creditors seem to
indulge in).

If there are creditors who are not listed on your schedules, you are
required to amend those schedules to add them.
